The stamps have been issued in alphabetical order.

In addition to Utah, the state flags of Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming made their debut Thursday along with the flag of the U.S. Virgin Islands and flag of the United States.

The Utah stamp also features a blooming cactus and arch formation in the background.
